FURSONAS

Humankind has used anthropomorphic animals for tens of thousands of years, a tradition that continues today in the furry fandom. In this fandom, most people have Fursonas, anthropomorphic animal characters that embody one or more qualities of their creator. In a subculture dedicated to commissioning or creating illustrations of someone’s Ideal, Paradigm, and/or Avatar, the potential for personal development cannot be understated. Personal art of my own fursonas are dedicated to documenting and celebrating my personal growth through a subculture I’m honored to consider one of my homes.

RESIN

Resin, the black hare, feels more like a being I had the pleasure of meeting rather than a character I designed. Born from a dysfunctional marriage, lack of self-esteem, and a disconnect from my God, Resin serves as an illustrated prayer for peace, presence, and confidence. Every single image of Resin was created in moments where I chose a healthy behavior over succumbing to withdrawals.

This is a small selection of works featuring the character, but you can find the entire history of the character and his evolution in BEOKAY, or by exploring the backlog of posts on my Patreon on the Black Hare tier.

Resin is about my connection to a higher power.

RAMSES

A character born from my desire to explore reincarnation, my connection to others, and multicultural ties and identity through my now terminated marriage, Ramses also serves as a vehicle for those very human energies that are aggressive and sexual in nature.

Ramses is about navigating my place in society.

MONKEY JONATHAN

Born from a desire to create furry art as autobiography, MJ imagery resolves to remove as much space as possible between a photo of the artist and a digital image of an anthro spider monkey. For the first time, my furry art prioritizes sharing my lifestyle, from character to environment. You can read more about the thought process behind his origins here.

Monkey Jonathan is about sharing my direct experiences with others.
